I'm curious as to what I may be able to house with them. I'd like maybe something that stays fairly small, and short fins (obviously). I wouldn't want to get any more than 2. 1 would be ideal, though.

I've read neon tetras do okay with barbs, sometimes and sometimes not. But I believe they school, don't they? It probably wouldn't be very kind to get only 2 of them.

Is there some sort of corycat i...

I think this is day 21. Looks like we have away to go but sure is nice to see something on those nitrites and nitrates for a change instead of just the ph and ammonia. Thank You

ph 7.0 ppm
Ammonia 1.0 ppm
Nitrites 0.25 ppm
Nitrates 5.0 ppm]]>5The California BlackwormSat, 23 Sep 2017 18:06:25 +0000https://www.aquariacentral.com/forums/threads/the-california-blackworm.214961/

I stick to pellets (that they can only take so many at once) and clippable blanched veggies (that they just fight over who can sit on the food). I'd like to try something else, so what do you guys feed these tanks with mixed shrimp, snails and bottom feeders? My main focus is getting more food...

Hi all. I picked up a fish at my LFS that was sold to me as a Flagfish (I bought five other Flagfish and this one was supposed to be the sixth), and I'm not quite sure what it is. It looks cool and plays nice with my other fish so I'd like to keep it, but do you have any thoughts? I live in Florida and Flagfish are local, could this be another type of local fish?
